Jupiii today is St. Nicholas Eve, don’t forget to put the dish with your name on the table :)When I was a child I believed in St. Nicholas. On this evening I was very anxious. My dad clanked one's chains and I think the devils and St. Nicholas are near :) When I grew older I always act devil part on performance for children in our village :) Here is one interesting story about St. Nicholas.

The story about St. Nicholas began in Asia in 350. Saint Nicholas (Nikolaj, Miklavž) was at that time a bishop, who liked to help people and bring gifts for good children and for people with good hearts.The story started to develop and every year more and more people began to believe that St. Nicholas really existed. At that time families were quite big, with lots of kids. They usually lived in poor conditions (especially after the war). A week before Saint Nicholas arrival all the children were very anxious. They had to behave and also to pray before going to bed, so Saint Nicholas would hear them and bring them many more things. The day before ( on 5th December) kids left their plates on the window sills inside the window. They went to bed early as they were convinced that otherwise he wouldn’t get any presents. Saint Nicholas was bringing presents only during the night. He came inside the house through the chimney. In the morning, when kids woke up, they found apples, nuts, sometimes there were also candies, cookies and oranges or some coins on their plates. But there was always a stick too, which was blessed and it should not be broken before the next Saint Nicholas arrival. Kids never saw Saint Nicholas, but they knew his image from the photos of a bishop. In the past St. Nicholas walked around alone. Today he is usually followed by little angels or devils.

I found some interesting blogs to my taste :) So here I´ll write down something about those which I think are worth seeing. I know that if I were surfing the web more often, I would find many interesting blogs.

The thinking blog – Power your brainJust title says a lot. The thinking blog is where some guy writes about things, which come to his mind and also to mine... Here are a lot of all kinda interesting topics from topical theme, computer topics, nature, history, psychology... He said: “The Thinking Blog is where I write about things that I like, find useful, and ONLY stuff that I feel is worth sharing. It is about many of the topics that make me think!” Some I also share in my google reader (Tjasa´s shared items).

I didn’t know that Halloween originated from the Pagan festival Samhain, which celebrated among the Celts of Ireland and Great Britain. Irish and Scottish immigrants carried versions of the tradition to North America in the nineteenth century. I always thought that Halloween originated from America. Now it seems like American holiday! Many European cultural traditions, in particular Celtic cultures, hold that Halloween is one of the times of the year when spirits can make contact with the physical world, and when magic is most potent. It sounds very mystically :) I don’t celebrate Halloween, but sometimes I carve out some pumpkins with my nephew. Do you?
